Chapter 36: Finally Obtained the Glory of Spiritual Herbs
Finally got the magical herb and returned with glory
Bi Yao and Li Yuan exchanged glances, and both saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
The ape fell down so easily that it was unbelievable.
There was an eerie calm in the air, like the calm before a storm, which made people feel uneasy.
"Yuanzi, I always feel like something is wrong." Bi Yao said in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.
Li Yuan also nodded and gripped the sword tighter in his hand.
"Me too, this feeling... is like being stared at by something." Before he finished speaking, the surrounding bushes suddenly shook, and several figures flashed out from behind the trees. It was Captain Wu and others!
"Hehe, you two, thank you for your hard work!" Captain Wu said with a sinister smile, "We will gladly accept these spiritual herbs!" As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wu and others attacked at the same time, and all kinds of spells and spiritual weapons attacked Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
The colorful spiritual power intertwined into a huge net, overwhelming towards the two of them, as if to devour them completely.
"Damn, these guys are playing dirty tricks!" Li Yuan cursed softly, and danced the long sword in his hand tightly, neutralizing the incoming attacks one by one.
Bi Yao was not willing to be outdone. He dodged nimbly and at the same time, he made hand gestures and shot out ice cones, forcing Captain Wu and others to split themselves to resist.
For a moment, the spiritual power in the cave surged, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the scene was in chaos.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, cooperating tacitly and barely holding off the siege of Captain Wu and others.
But the other side had more people and more power, and each of them was quite strong. Bi Yao and Li Yuan gradually felt that they were unable to cope with the situation, and the spiritual power net around them became tighter and tighter, almost making it difficult for them to breathe.
"Yuanzi..." Bi Yao's face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Yaoyao, hold on! I remember..."
"Yaoyao, hold on! I remember... I remember there's a place in the valley with very strange spiritual power!" Li Yuan shouted while resisting the attack.
Bi Yao's eyes lit up: "You mean that spiritual energy vortex point?!" "Yes! It's right there!"
The two exchanged glances and reached a consensus instantly.
Li Yuan made a feint to force back the enemy in front of him, then grabbed Bi Yao's hand and ran towards the depths of the valley.
Seeing this, Captain Wu and others immediately chased after him.
"Want to run? No way!"
Bi Yao and Li Yuan were extremely fast and arrived near the spiritual energy vortex in the blink of an eye.
"Now!" Bi Yao shouted and threw the talisman in his hand away.
The talisman exploded in the air, forming a huge light curtain that completely enveloped the spiritual power vortex point.
Captain Wu and others were caught off guard and bumped into the light curtain.
"Bang, bang, bang!" After a series of muffled sounds, Captain Wu and others were bounced back, and each of them fell down in a daze and looked miserable.
"Oops, sorry, I didn't control the strength well." Bi Yao said with a smile, but her tone was full of sarcasm.
Fairy Lin, who was hiding in the dark, was so angry when she saw this scene.
She originally wanted to wait until Bi Yao and Li Yuan were both injured before taking action, but she didn't expect to be tricked by them.
"Damn Bi Yao!" Fairy Lin cursed softly and walked out from her hiding place. A dazzling ball of light condensed in her hand and smashed it hard at Bi Yao.
Bi Yao was prepared for this. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.
"How dare you show off your mere tricks in front of an expert?" She waved her hand nonchalantly, and the spiritual energy around her surged like a tide, dissolving all of Fairy Lin's attacks. She then created a spiritual energy barrier to trap Fairy Lin in place.
Fairy Lin struggled desperately, but was unable to shake the barrier at all.
She widened her eyes in horror, watching Bi Yao approach step by step, as if she was looking at a demon from hell.
Bi Yao squatted down, leaned close to Fairy Lin's ear, and whispered, "Next time you want to launch a sneak attack, remember to consider your own strength first." After that, she stood up and walked with Li Yuan into the depths of the cave, where the unique fragrance of spiritual herbs emanated.
The two smiled at each other and were about to reach out to pick the spiritual herbs when suddenly... "Roar——" A deafening roar came from the depths of the cave, as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, carrying a terrifying pressure.
Li Yuan's expression changed, and he protected Bi Yao behind him, "Yaoyao, be careful!"
Deep in the cave, a huge spiritual ape slowly walked out, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations from its body.
Its scarlet eyes stared at Bi Yao and Li Yuan, and it issued a low warning sound.
This spirit ape is the spirit beast that guards the spirit herbs, and its strength should not be underestimated.
"Oh my god! Such a big guy! Looks like we're going to have to play for real today!" Li Yuan complained, and the spiritual power in his hand surged, transforming into a long sword flashing with cold light.
Bi Yao was not to be outdone and took out a... frying pan from her storage bag?
!
"To deal with a creature with thick skin and flesh, you have to use physical attacks!" She explained seriously, then rushed towards the spirit ape while waving a frying pan.
"Yaoyao, are you serious?!" Li Yuan was stunned. This operation really opened his eyes.
Bi Yao didn't care what he thought and directly smashed down the spirit ape with a "Mount Tai Pressing Down".
With a loud "clang", the spirit ape was hit so hard that it saw stars and let out a painful howl.
"Hehe, you didn't expect that! I graduated from New Oriental Cooking School, and I'm also good at fighting monsters!" Bi Yao said proudly.
Li Yao's shocking attack method made Fairy Lin, who was hiding in the dark, dumbfounded.
"What the...what's going on? A frying pan? Is she kidding?"
Li Yuan reacted quickly and coordinated with Bi Yao's attack, launching a fierce offensive against the spirit ape.
The two of them, one in attack and the other in defense, cooperated perfectly and suppressed the spirit ape to the point that it had no chance to fight back.
"Wait, Yaoyao! Look at its chest!" Li Yuan suddenly pointed at a red mark on the spirit ape's chest and said.
Bi Yao took a closer look and found that the mark seemed a little special.
"Could it be...that's its weakness?"
"That's right! I bet a spicy strip that's its weakness!" Li Yuan said firmly.
"Okay! Let's try it!" A gleam of light flashed in Bi Yao's eyes, and he waved the frying pan again and smashed it towards the spirit ape's chest.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the spirit ape let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Li Yuan took the opportunity to stab the spirit ape in the chest with a sword, hitting the red mark right on it.
The spirit ape struggled for a few times and then became completely motionless.
"Done! Time to call it a day!" Bi Yao jumped up excitedly and gave Li Yuan a big hug.
Li Yuan looked at Bi Yao in his arms, his eyes full of love and admiration.
"Yaoyao, you are so amazing!"
Bi Yao also responded to his gaze, and under the glow of the spiritual grass, their feelings for each other reached their peak.
The spiritual power around them seemed to be blessing their love.
"Ahem," Bi Yao suddenly coughed, breaking the romantic atmosphere, "Um... the spiritual grass seems to be almost ripe..."
Li Yuan also came back to his senses and looked at the spiritual herb emitting dazzling light, a hint of desire flashing in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and was about to pick the spiritual herbs when suddenly...
"Wait!" A voice came from the depths of the cave, with a hint of teasing and... familiarity?
Bi Yao and Li Yuan turned around at the same time, only to see Captain Wu and a few others walking out with a sinister smile on their faces.
"Wow, you two are quite impressive. You actually managed to deal with the Spirit Ape. But…" He paused, his eyes greedily gazing at the spiritual herb that was emitting a dazzling light. "This spiritual herb is mine now!"
"Captain Wu, do you still have any shame?" Li Yuan shouted angrily, "We fought tooth and nail to obtain this spiritual herb. Why should we give it to you?"
"Why? Because I'm stronger than you!" Captain Wu laughed arrogantly. "If you know what's good for you, just hand over the spiritual herbs and I'll consider sparing your lives!"
"Dream on!" Bi Yao refused without hesitation. She waved the frying pan and prepared to fight.
"If you want to steal our spiritual herbs, ask my frying pan first if it agrees!"
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it!" Captain Wu's face darkened and he called his men to rush forward.
A melee broke out again, and Bi Yao and the frying pan showed their prowess again, beating Captain Wu's men to a pulp.
Li Yuan was not to be outdone. He swung the sword in his hand, and the sword energy was so strong that it forced Captain Wu to retreat again and again.
"Damn it!" Captain Wu was about to be defeated and was extremely angry.
He suddenly took out a black bead from his arms and crushed it hard.
A black mist instantly spread out, covering the entire cave.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan felt a black screen before their eyes and then lost consciousness.
When they woke up again, they found themselves tied up, and Captain Wu was standing in front of them, looking at them triumphantly.
"Haha, you didn't expect that! I have this trick!" Captain Wu laughed arrogantly, "Now, the spiritual herbs are mine!" He stretched out his hand to pick the spiritual herbs, but suddenly stopped, his face became very ugly.
Because the spiritual herb that originally emitted a dazzling light has now become dim and has lost all its spiritual energy, becoming just an ordinary weed.
"What's going on?!" Captain Wu looked at the weeds in his hand in disbelief and shouted angrily, "Where are my spiritual herbs?! Where did my spiritual herbs go?!"
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
It turned out that when Captain Wu crushed the black beads, Bi Yao had already secretly put the spiritual herbs into the storage bag.
"Want to know where your spiritual herbs went?" Bi Yao looked at Captain Wu with a smile, "Then I'll tell you in my next life!"
After saying that, she stopped paying attention to Captain Wu and turned to look at Li Yuan, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.
"Let's go back to the Immortal Gate."
Li Yuan nodded gently, and the two of them left the cave hand in hand, leaving Captain Wu standing there, jumping with anger.
After returning to the Immortal Sect, Bi Yao was valued by the Immortal Sect because of this experience and became an inner sect disciple.
But she knew that after becoming an inner disciple, learning immortal arts would be a new challenge.
She arrived at her master's residence with excitement and nervousness, and gently knocked on the door... "Master, disciple Bi Yao requests to see you."
